GRSE to Build Research Vessels for Geological Survey of India
Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) will build two new research ships for the Geological Survey of India (GSI).
These ships are designed for exploring the ocean floor, looking for minerals, and monitoring the environment.
They will be 64 meters long and have a top speed of 10 knots.
GRSE, which usually builds warships, is also working on other research vessels.
These new ships will have labs and room for scientists to study and collect data.
GRSE signed a contract to build two coastal research vessels for the Geological Survey of India.
The vessels will be used for offshore geological mapping, mineral exploration, and ocean environment monitoring.
Each vessel will be 64 meters long, 12 meters wide, and have a deadweight tonnage of about 450 tons.
The vessels will have a top speed of 10 knots and an endurance of 15 days.
